Best food n Fort Greene, hands down. They do it right here, with menu changes daily and truly authentic Italian food cooked with soul power. Elegant, understated, well executed.

Elevine Berge

Finally found a place to get radicchio served as good as when living in Italy - the Treviso was perfect <3 The daily cocktails are great too. Lovely service and ambience both inside and out front.

Jordan M

Favorite neighborhood spot . Menu changes daily. Some recent favorites: wilted spinach in duck broth over croutons with pecorino & chicken diavolo. Great wine list particularly if you love orange wine .

Victoria

The food is soooo good! It can get crowded most nights, so expect a wait, pass the time at Alibi across the street for a good dive bar before your upscale dinner ;)

Vivian Ramirez

VDay menu was a great range of well done food. Very romantic and festively themed. Attentive staff and service. A bit snug and dark. Great for small special group dinners .

Sarah Sampsel

Great service and always interesting and delicious wines by the glass. Love to sit at the bar for brunch or dinner .

Brynna Tucker

Everything here is great. The menu changes often, and the staff are extremely knowledgable about food, wine , and drinks. I go more often that I'd like to admit :)

Gino M.

Great take on modern Italian, with an American flair and organic ingredients . Attention to detail; pasta is really al dente here, not under/overcooked. Cosy atmosphere and impeccable service to boot!

Stina P.

saturday beach day: ride to and fort tilden, hot shower , aperol spritz , and sit out front at Romans for dinner with friends. the best. ????

The Corcoran Group

Chocolate Sorbet : New York Magazine described this as 'more like a refreshingly cold ganache , a looser pot de crème, or an artisanal Fudgsicle'. Absolutely incredible!

Want a great drink? Ask Ryan, he'll hook you up. Calling this place pricey would imply it wasn't worth every penny and it is! You me...wine is important to me and it's important to them as well ! Do it

Kevin Skobac

Menu changes daily, so not much point in recommendations. Everything Ive eaten, especially pastas , has been delicious. Portions are smaller than expected, though.

Holly Moore

The chocolate sorbet is the best chocolate anything I've ever had. Really.

Jared Ranere

Great service.... The server explained every item on the menu. All food choices were excellent. Great cocktails . Can't go wrong here.

Annie Ly

menu changes daily. great options all around, they come up with wonderfully unique, tasty dishes - even their apps and salads .

RJ Dugan

Go with light dishes so you can order more plates than just one or two. Fantastic dinner spot. Great wine options (including organic wines ).

Tarah Feinberg

Try the Maccheroni With Pork Sausage And Rapini - As always, pasta was perfectly cooked and dish was perfectly balanced. A light stock supported the flavors beautifully.

Ms Helene

Everything has flavor and freshness. Radicchio salad , calamari chickpea pasta and scallops aioli . Expect to wait.

Mike Fraietta

I mean, it's pretty damn good, but if you're rarely in Fort Greene I'd suggest a-bistro or madiba first if you haven't tried them yet.

Tarah Feinberg

Try the Baked Egg With Minestrone And Pesto - Hearty, with lots of fresh, seasonal veggies . Felt #healthy & absolutely #delicious. #perfection #inmymouth

Mari

Menu changes daily, but everything is amazing. Try a couple of the pastas . You won't be disappointed.

Audrey Tolbert

The food is great, the wine is great, and the service is great. And they're gratuity free. But I still have to say it was overpriced...

Tarah Feinberg

Try the Pork Sandwich - I could eat this every day. Served with anchovy dressing & chicory on a fluffy, lightly grilled olive oil bun . #perfection

Tarah Feinberg

Try the Chicken Al Diavolo - Perfectly cooked, with fresh vegetables . I've never had this with fresh tomatoes instead of sauce; made a huge difference. Wow.

Tiffany Steffens

Loved the bucatini carbonara & the salted dark chocolate sorbet was amazing!!

Tarah Feinberg

Try the Spaghetti With Canelli Beans, Herbs And Tomato - Light, blissfully fresh and perfectly cooked. A light stock supported the flavors beautifully.

Alex Hunter

The pinnacle of cozy ! Really friendly and informative staff . Don’t skip the arncini or the chocolate sorbet .

When weather permits, request one of the candlelit alfresco tables: There's no better perch from which to soak up the Fort Greene scene. Read more

Joseph White

Menu changes everyday and never disappoints. 1 starter, 1 main and 1 salad is perfect for two

Will Mahony

Good for dates . Slightly pricey but quality pasta

7th.List

Taste - Stracchino, agnolotti , House-cured ham (salty but still soft to the tooth, had an appealing herbal, grassy flavor that really made one wonder what that pig had been eating) Read more

Compass

The Italian restaurant offers killer cuts of beef and you can always count on the ingredient-driven menu to change nightly.

Jenna Wortham 

Love that they have two special cocktails each night - the "sour" and the "bitter." ( I alwaze get the sour ☺)

Sarah Charton

Beyond delicious. The chocolate sorbet is to die for, and the service is wonderful.

Alexander Gregory

The food changes daily but is always excellent. The pasta dishes are always a great choice

Michael

Great date night place. Sit at the bar , the tables are kind of cramped.

Vince C.

Amazing striped bass and braciola - great neighborhood spot for brunch .

Daniel Chang

The sazerac is incredible. Menu rotates often but I'm never disappointed.

Alex Nathanson

Simple spaghetti and Tomato dish is where it's at. Forgot just good it can be.

Melissa Fudor

Get the Chicken Al Diavolo if its on the menu - it's completely worth it, trust me. Enough for two people.

Justin Dean

I've never paid so much money to eat so little (albeit decent) food. If you live nearby step in and buy a loaf -- it's the only fair meal here.

Justin Welsh

Waitstaff is amazing. Food is fresh and delicious every single day....

Village Voice

You must try the beet salad with cheese croutons and onion frittata . Read more

Tarah Feinberg

Try the Smoked Bluefish With Poached Egg And Charmoula - Perfectly balanced, fish skin slightly crispy , wow.

Gideon Olshansky

Delicious food, great wine in a great space

Andrea Hailey

Try the chocolate sorbet :)

BC ????????

Great service. Nice place to chill , have a chat and cocktails with friends.

Marie Clemessy

Pasta dishes were fabulous, the deserts were outstanding.

Tarah Feinberg

Try the Cardamom Walnut Cake - Like a cup of chai on a plate. A little dry, but delicious.
